Wow. That is one low fucking bar you have there.   Anything else that is "getting better" you would care to share with us? like the fact that you can log on 6 days out of 7?  Huh

It doesn't take a particularly high bare to turn into a massive improvement.

Just take a look at new CC - no matter what it's still a MASSIVE improvement over the old, non-functional system.

Not so much from my point of view, just some mildly sparkly loot options without any real work being done on the larger flaws  and problems, not to mention the game philosophy of Sevpays that keeps driving everything towards a homogeneous end game. 

But hey it's cool your jazzed about it Naom

No, not "no matter what."

Not without flexible shards.
Not when crafting for others is effectively removed.
Not when effects have to follow the idiot NRL placement schema.
Not when they implement a ~dozen new collectables while still ignoring the ~half-dozen that already existed which had and will still have no purpose at all in the game.
Not when the same cost is in place for a shard regardless of whether is is for a ML1 item or a ML30 item, or anyplace in between.

Yes, scaling up to cap is nice.
Yes, 3 effects per item is nice.
Those two things could have been accomplished by building on the existing system.

The rest is just whitewash on a turd, and then calling it a diamond.
  

No, let me be Frank.

Yes and no.

Yes, the bar is so low it wouldn't be too hard to make a positive change that would qualify as a massive improvement.

No, the new CC is not a massive improvement.  They're just polishing a stale turd.  It's better, but definitely not massively better.   

There are/were a ton of easy, low-hanging fruits they could have taken to "massively" improve the CC system (and the new RNG system).  Sadly, they missed most of them.

Revaulting, I appreciate your candor. Conversations from the outside looking in are always just a tad wrong, but anyone can see that horrible stuff happened behind the scenes at one point. Things were very very very bad. They are getting better.

Right? But that isn't really the question on my mind. Are they getting good?

Sorry for chiming in, but if she is who she says she is, then we can assume that she is only familiar with a smasll section of the history of the loot changes. So in her perspective things are getting better.

And as such, your debate may become completely meaningless.
She is convinced that things are getting better (in regard to the status quo).
You are convinced (just as I am) that things are not really getting better, in light of the past 10-12 updates, and the extra sneak-fixes.

But maybe its just that you two should go back to Tinder and continue your glorious "Oh I see dark clouds", "No, shit, I have been through hell, mate!" chitchattin'.  Roll Eyes Tongue

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

I hear the choliform bacteria count is getting lower in Rio, but I still wouldn't swim there.

As others have said, they may be getting better, but they have a huge gap to close before they make it back to "good", and they don't get off the hook simply for being less shitty. I fell for the "we get it now, we'll improve, we promise" more than once, but not any more.

DDO has Completely New System cancer. Devs spend their time feverishly coding new things (new crafting systems especially), introducing them to live half-completed, and then ignoring them forever. There's a brief honeymoon period, lasting 1 or 2 patches, where it looks like that pattern will finally break. But no. It never has.

I really appreciate the torch waving over here, but I did basically nothing during my month on the dev team in comparison to the rock stars that sat near me.


OK... I won't pretend to know about game development, my exposure to it has been minimal at best.

But I DO know something about Rock Stars, having worked with some of them.

They're ass clowns.

You'd be amazed at how many "rock stars" are not the ones playing on their own albums. (Looking at you Ace Frehley)

While they were face down in the bathroom laying in a pile of their own filth, some "no name" came in and DID THEIR JOBS FOR THEM.

Just because OCCASIONALLY one of these jackasses manages to put together 10 minutes of sobriety to show talent or promise, doesn't mean they should be given a contract.

Never assume that because THEY are "doing it" that they are deserving or competent, or in any way better than you.

The world is NOT a meritocracy.

People like myself make their living on overdoses and psychotic breaks. When some "rock star"  self-destructs, is when us "No Namers" answer the phone and find our time to shine, usually by doing whatever that rock star does BETTER THAN THEY DO.

Consistency is everything.

The world needs people who FINISH WHAT THEY START. Which is exactly what your "Rock Stars" aren't doing.

Take the accolades for what they are.

Remember, all these foul-mouthed Vaultie shut-ins are sitting Shiva over your loss.

    What the fuck is "Insightful Deception"? Will it proc deception at all, or are all sneak attack bonuses just "Deception" these days?
